hi,

under XBase++ i can do this

#IFDEF FULLDEMO

PROCEDURE Main
...
RETURN
#ENDIF

and compile/link using

COMPILE_FLAGS = /q /w /o\OBJ\ /DFULLDEMO

this create #DEFINE FULLDEMO at Runtime

Question : can i do this with harbour/Build64.BAT ?

Dear Jimmy,

Yes, Harbour has the same feature. The compiler option is -d<id>[=<value>], it defines the symbol before compiling, exactly like #define at the top of the PRG.

Your source stays the same:

#ifdef FULLDEMO
PROCEDURE Main
...
RETURN
#endif

Then add the option to the Harbour command line:

harbour myprog.prg /n /w /q /dFULLDEMO /i%HDIR%\include /i%FWDIR%\include

In a batch file like BUILD64.BAT you have to put /dFULLDEMO in the line that calls harbour.exe (not in the C compiler or linker line). If you want to pass it from the command line, you can use a parameter, for example BUILD64.BAT myprog FULLDEMO and in the batch use /d%2 (leave it out if %2 is empty). If you use hbmk2, the equivalent is -DFULLDEMO.

Note: I have not seen your BUILD64.BAT, so the exact line to change depends on how it calls Harbour. Please post the line with harbour if you want me to check it.
